I stumbled upon the Land of Nod blog called Honest to Nod…. and found that they have awesome kids crafts on there! This one was so whimsical and dreamy that I had to post about it.

Head on over to Honest to Nod for the tutorial!

Looking for a simple Mother’s Day Craft? How about this adorable Buttom Blossom Necklace! Silly Eagle Books has the simple tutorial. They recommend the project for children who can use scissors.

Head on over to the Chocolate Muffin Tree for a great tutorial on how to make this bird and nest artwork with your children! I love how her children made every part of this craft. She also has a book associated with the craft for a great language arts lesson plan!

This craft is too creepy for words  (can you tell I don’t like spiders?)….but possibly perfect for those little( or big) boys running around your house.  This craft is sure to spook the trick or treaters in your neighborhood! Enjoy the tutorial over at the Magic Onions. I just love how they are actually coming out of the pumpkin!! Eeeewwwww…..
